World Vision Disaster Response in the USA



URGENT: World Vision is responding to the devastation left by deadly storms in Alabama, Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Mississippi, as well as the levy break in Missouri. We are working with local partners to distribute first aid kits, hygiene supplies, and other essential products to some of the hardest hit communities. An assessment team is also preparing to survey the damage in Alabama and look for ways to partner with churches and other local organizations to help the most vulnerable children and families.

World Vision is positioned and equipped to respond to disasters all around the world – including right here in the United States. In the wake of floods, storms, wildfires, hurricanes, and other catastrophes, American families receive vital supplies and support from World Vision. And you can help.

Your gift today will help World Vision provide life-saving emergency supplies in the United States, including items like:
  • Food and water
  • Blankets
  • Temporary shelter
  • Clothing
  • Hygiene kits and more.
World Vision relief staff are continually stocking up and preparing for the next disaster. Your support is needed today so we can be ready to respond quickly in an emergency. Please give generously to help your fellow Americans. Click here

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come to You in the Name of Jesus asking that You would bring peace, comfort and provision to those impacted by the deadly storms in Alabama, Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Mississippi. Lord our hearts break as we hear reports and see pictures of the horrific damage and learn of the loss of so many precious lives. We do not know how to pray or even ask on behalf of our Nation in this time of crisis, but we know that You are the God of the impossible and we ask that You would raise up an army of people who would be willing to do what it takes to be Your Hands extended in these places and to these Americans who stand in such dire need. Help them Lord. Show us our part in this and give us the courage to take the action that we need to take to bring honor and glory to Your Name. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
